Twitter announced that it has given itself the ability to remove Tweets from single, specific countries while keeping those same Tweets visible to the rest of the world. Twitter devised this capability in response to government requests and actions over the course of the last year. While Twitter still believes in freedom of expression, it recognizes that "for historical or cultural reasons, [some countries] restrict certain types of content," such as hate speech. Twitter said it has not used this feature yet, and when it must, it will do its best to inform the user whose Tweet has been removed and let others know the Tweet was censored. Previously, Twitter could remove Tweets globally -- meaning they were no longer visible to anyone.

Google today provided an update to its Music Manager software for computers. This software is what syncs your PC-based music library with Google's cloud-based music storage service for Androids smartphones. The new version contains a tool that lets users download all the tracks from Google Music back down to a PC, including those users have purchased and those users have uploaded. Additionally, Google has made it possible to share YouTube videos that are associated with Google Music purchases to Google+. The new software is free to download and use.

Google today explained in a blog post that it wants developers to stop creating applications that support the dedicated Menu button. Moving forward, Google wants all apps to use the ActionBar that's part of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Google explained, "Not only should your apps stop relying on the hardware Menu button, but you should stop thinking about your activities using a 'Menu button' at all. Your activities should provide buttons for important user actions directly in the Action Bar (or elsewhere on screen). Those that can't fit in the action bar end up in the action overflow." Google hopes that this move will create a more uniform look and feel to the behavior of Android devices and the applications that run on them. Android devices originally shipped with four buttons, including a dedicated Menu key. The Galaxy Nexus, the first Android 4.0 device, does not have a Menu key and reflects the experience that Google is seeking.

Google today updated Google Sync for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 Mango platform. The most important new feature is support for multiple calendars, which lets users select which of their Google Calendars are synced to their WP7 smartphone. Previously it only supported one calendar. Google Sync for WP7 also now supports sending email from multiple email addresses. Last, Google has improved the search capabilities within its services on WP7 devices. To access these features, WP7 device users need to point their browsers to m.google.com/sync and make the appropriate changes.
